If you were affected by the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. data breach in 2020, time is running out to claim your share of the $21 million class-action settlement. The deadline to submit a claim is February 10, 2025, and eligible individuals could receive up to $6,000 in compensation.
What Happened?
Between June 3 and September 26, 2020, a cyberattack exposed sensitive personal information from customers and employees of Arthur J. Gallagher, one of the world’s largest insurance brokerage firms. Stolen data included:
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account details
- Medical records
- Government-issued IDs
If your information was compromised in this breach, you might be entitled to a cash payment or free identity protection services.
Who Can Get Money & How Much?
People affected by the breach can file a claim to receive one or more of the following benefits:
✅ Reimbursement for Documented Losses (Up to $6,000) – If you suffered financial losses, such as fraudulent charges, identity theft, or costs for credit monitoring services, you can submit proof and get reimbursed.
✅ Alternative Cash Payment – If you didn’t experience direct losses, you can still receive a cash payment from the remaining settlement funds. The exact amount will depend on the number of people who file claims.
✅ Free Credit Monitoring – Instead of a cash payment, you can opt for three years of free financial account monitoring to protect yourself from future fraud.
✅ Extra $100 for California Residents – If you lived in California at any time from June 3, 2020, to February 10, 2025, you may be eligible for an additional payment under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
